Fordia is a genus of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native from south China and Thailand to west and central Malesia. [2] [3] The genus was established by William Hemsley in 1886. [1]
As of January 2023 [update] , Plants of the World Online accepted the following species: [2]
Former species:
Aeschynanthus is a genus of about 150 species of evergreen subtropical and tropical plants in the family Gesneriaceae. They are usually trailing epiphytes with brightly colored flowers that are pollinated by sunbirds. The genus name comes from a contraction of aischuno and anthos (flower). The common name for some species is lipstick plant, which comes from the appearance of the developing buds emerging from the calyces. A full list of the accepted species and their synonyms can be found in the Smithsonian Institution's World Checklist of Gesneriaceae.
Tetrastigma is a genus of plants in the grape family, Vitaceae. The plants are lianas that climb with tendrils and have palmately compound leaves. Plants are dioecious, with separate male and female plants; female flowers are characterized by their four-lobed stigmas. The species are found in subtropical and tropical regions of Asia, Malaysia, and Australia, where they grow in primary rainforest, gallery forest and monsoon forest and moister woodland. Species of this genus are notable as being the sole hosts of parasitic plants in the family Rafflesiaceae, one of which, Rafflesia arnoldii, produces the largest single flower in the world. Tetrastigma is the donor species for horizontal gene transfer to Sapria and Rafflesia due to multiple gene theft events.
Imbralyx incredibilis, synonym Fordia incredibilis, is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is a tree endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Anodendron is a genus of plant in the family Apocynaceae first described as a genus in 1844. It is native to most of tropical Asia: China, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and some islands of the western Pacific.
Capparis is a flowering plant genus, comprising around 250 species in the family Capparaceae which is included in the Brassicaceae in the unrevised APG II system. These plants are shrubs or lianas and are collectively known as caper shrubs or caperbushes. Capparis species occur over a wide range of habitat in the subtropical and tropical zones.
Saprosma is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. There are about 40 species distributed from south China to tropical Asia.
Urophyllum is a genus of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae, native to from south China to Tropical Asia. The genus was established by Nathaniel Wallich in 1824.
Ventilago is a genus of plants in the family Rhamnaceae. It includes about 40 species found in the tropics of South and SE Asia, Australasia, with one species each in Africa and Madagascar.
Smythea is a genus of plants in the family Rhamnaceae. It includes eleven species found in southeast Asia and Polynesia.
The tribe Millettieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae.
Antidesma montanum is a species of tree in the family Phyllanthaceae, native to Southeast Asia, from India to the Philippines. It can grow up to 10 m (33 ft). The fruits are edible. Four varieties have been accepted, each of which has multiple synonyms, which include Antidesma obliquinervium for A. montanum var. montanum.
Diplospora is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. The genus is found in tropical and subtropical Asia.
Globba is a genus of plants in the ginger family. It contains about 100 species, native to China, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago and Queensland.
Vesta is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, formally described in 2018. It contains only one known species, Vesta longifolia, native to Perak in Peninsular Malaysia and to Brunei and Sarawak on the island of Borneo.
Dregea is a genus of vines in the Apocynaceae, established by Ernst Meyer in 1838. It is native to southern Africa, Yemen and eastern Asia from China to Sulawesi.
Imbralyx is a genus of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native from Bangladesh and south-central China to Sumatra. The genus was established by Robert Geesink in 1984.
Damrongia is a genus of flowering plants in the Gesneriad family, centered in Thailand and found in southern China, Southeast Asia, and Sumatra. Species were reassigned to it in 2016 in a revision of Loxocarpinae.
Cyrtandromoea is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Phrymaceae. For a considerable time, the family placement of the genus remained uncertain; it was placed in either Gesneriaceae or Scrophulariaceae. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2019 showed that it belonged in Phrymaceae.
Hymenandra is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Primulaceae.
Phacellaria is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Santalaceae.
